We have nothing to hide – NNPC

The National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has said it is winding down crude swap contracts with traders and will pay cash for petrol imports.

The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, Mele Kyari, disclosed this in an interview with Reuters, adding that private companies could begin importing petrol as soon as this month.

The move is part of President Bola Tinubu’s plans to deregulate the petroleum products market and reduce the burden on government finances.

Tinubu has already scrapped a costly fuel subsidy, effective from last Tuesday, a decision which tripled petrol prices, angering labour unions who have called for a strike starting on Wednesday if the decision is not reversed.

NNPC has been importing petrol from consortiums of foreign and local trading firms and repaying them with crude oil via what is known as Direct Sale Direct Purchase (DSDP) contracts since 2016 because it does not have enough cash to pay for the purchases, data and trading sources said.

“In the last four months, we practically terminated all DSDP contracts. And we now have an arm’s-length process where we can pay cash for the imports,” Kyari told Reuters in an interview late on Saturday.

This is the first time NNPC has said it is terminating crude swap contracts. By importing less petrol as private companies’ import the bulk, NNPC will be able to pay for its purchases in cash, Kyari said.

An industry source with direct knowledge of the matter said NNPC was still allocating crude for fuel swaps for July loading, though less than in previous months.

Kyari said NNPC’s monopoly on petrol supplies was ending and private firms could start importing as early as this month.

Kyari said Nigeria’s total crude and condensate output was at 1.56 million barrels a day (bpd) as of Friday. Nigeria has struggled to meet its OPEC oil quota of 1.742 million bpd due to grand oil theft and illegal refining.
